Anyone Know Anything About this: Century Set: Soap, Brush, Mug

[michiganlover]

I picked up this vintage Century Shaving set off of Ebay for about $10. It has a brush, soap, and mug. Looks to be NOS. The puck of soap seems to be quite large, and is sure to be tallow based.

I have heard of Century brushes before, but have no knowledge of their soap.

Nice grab!

I don't know anything about Century soap - you are going to use it, aren't you?

Of course!! I wouldn't have bought it otherwise! Vintage Soaps Rock!!

I picked up an identical set at a rummage sale. The only difference was it was in a green box but the rest looked identical. I gave it to my son and he likes the brush and mug but was not so fond of the soap.

If my memory serves me correctly, the mfg. was in New York, perhaps brooklyn. I also think that the brush had a different tag but I am not sure any more.

Happy shaving,
